According to autopsort.com, Ecclestone said he did not know when the sport would switch over to the higher quality coverage, but that plans are in place to make a feed available to F1's television partners.
Ecclestone, however, said it was more important for F1 to be available in a widescreen format.
"The trouble with High Definition is that there are not many people who have got the equipment to receive it, so there is not much point," he said.
"We are really broadcasting for the big screen now, rather than worrying about HD."
Global satellite broadcasting company SISLink was due to bring a HDTV ready broadcasting truck to this weekend’s round at Barcelona, but Ecclestone now says that HDTV will be available later in the year.
